Back in the players' area, after high-fiving and celebrating with his teammates, Lin Guanglai walked over to Yanagida Yuuki with a grin, "Brother Yuuki, I've done what I said I would do before the game, now it's up to you!"
Yanagida Yuuki glanced at him a bit annoyed, without saying a word—hitting a home run off a giant pitcher like Kaneko Chiharu is no easy task!
Lin Guanglai was able to hit a home run off Kaneko Chiharu not just because of his outstanding skills, but also partly because the game had just started and the opponent hadn't fully settled into the game.
It is foreseeable that after being hit by Lin Guanglai's tying solo shot right at the start, Kaneko Chiharu and Orix's defense players will be more cautious in the forthcoming game, leaving SoftBank's batters with fewer opportunities.
Being targeted by a pitcher with an average speed of 144km/h, a top speed of 154km/h, along with highly refined ball control, is not a pleasant feeling...
